Hi guys I am running vn215 American Racing wheels 15"
fronts are 15x3.5" -26x6 Sr M/T tire and rear Custom 15x12" with 31x16.5SR M/T rear tire
1971 GMC Sprint "same as El Camino" with Narrowed rear chasis.
The front wheels look real small in the frender .
I was looking at some members cars here running 18 fronts and I really like how they look with the 18" in the fronts
I guess I can use a 18x7 fronts
Please ,can anyone tell if the 18x7 wheel with 28" tire front wheels and 15x12 wheel with 31 x 16.5 rear tire will look better that my setup now?

Not sure if anyone can tell 'you' what 'you' will like. At least I hope not and my wife finds out the process!

'I think' it looks awesome the way it is.

18's with 28" tire will keep the similar sidewall thickness from front to rear what you have now. I would be afraid of it raising the front to much and loosing that cool rake look. Though you could lower the front to compensate and fill the fender. I think most that go with 18's in front (as I did) get a thin side wall and then lower the front to give it that filled in fender look.

I think you need a taller front tire. Be it on a 15, 17, or 18. Minimum 27", Maximum 28" tall tire.

I fear an 18" wheel front combined with a 15" rear is too much of a difference.

I like the way it looks now. It will look funny with new low profile wheels. It doesnt fit the cars "personality" If it were mine I probably go with smaller wheels and tires in the rear though.
